Epoxy adhesives are adhesives which have their base polymer formed by the epoxy chemical group. Epoxy adhesives are available in one and two component variants. The major advantage of one component epoxy adhesives over two component epoxy adhesive is the fast rate of cure. It also has superior resistance against heavy loads or pressure. This superior resistance of one component epoxy is because of the heat energy applied to create a highly cross-linked structure in a short span of time.
